Yeah, this is just the kind of snobbery I thought the "I" in IDM would keep
relegated to alt.snooty.net.god.wanna.bes. And what exactly was your point
in posting your response to the list, and not directly to the poster? Who
cares that you are able to point out what *you* think are irrelevant
postings? I assume that was your main point, and not actually *helping* the
person get the information he/she was looking for.
[flame off]
And now, for a more appropriate response to the original inquiry:
The IDM list will probably not be your best source of an answer to your
question. Perhaps you should try mailing to bpm@dhp.com. The bpm list is
more DJ & equipment-oriented than the IDM list. If you would like to
subscribe, send e-mail to:
listproc@dhp.com
with
Subject: subscribe
and
subscribe bpm <your e-address>
in the body.
If you post directly into the list and are not subscribed, please make sure
you note that in your message, so people will respond directly to you, and
not the list (which you can't read if you are not subscribed, right?)
I am posting this to the list in what I hope will provide a better example
of an "I"DM response to an off-topic posting (and one I happen to know how
to help the person find the answer to his/her question).
